Take it for what you will, but when I had a hard time installing mxsim on ubuntu the first time I tried, I looked back and I had installed these libraries. Whether all of them are needed or not I have no idea, but when I had all of these, it started and worked good.

Anyone got suggestions? I have looked everywhere and tried every link on this topic and have found not one working way to download ia32-libs. It's just gone. Like it's been removed from the repository.

Interesting. I used Fedora too for a while, but switched to Ubuntu later on. Felt like whenever I wanted something like spotify, skype or really any other program I ran on my windows machines (that wasn't windows exclusives) I had a hard time finding something that worked on fedora, while Ubuntu had it all. Perhaps it's my general lacking understanding of repos, key etc that gave me that conclusion and I could have installed everything with more knowledge.

That's the reason I wanted to try Ubuntu as well. The package manager was just a big disappointment to me. I can get the non free stuff on Fedora by using the RPM fusion repo. So that takes care of the main problem with Fedora whereas on Ubuntu I'm stuck with apt/dpkg.
